The GenCon Writer’s Symposium is one of the best kept secrets in writing. I’d be hard pressed to name a conference with more programming (145 writing events). And the guest list (over 70 professional authors, editors, and publishers) is outstanding:

I’ll be there, speaking on panels and critiquing fiction (yes, you can actually get a pro’s opinion of your work at GenCon). I’ll also be signing books with Apex Publications and Alliteration Ink.

There’s tremendous opportunity to learn from (and mingle with) the pros at this con. I highly recommend checking out the schedule and signing up for panels and workshops. GenCon was the first professional conference I attended as a beginning writer, and I can’t say enough good things about it.

According to our master of ceremonies, writer and game designer Marc Tassin, over 3,000* people signed up for the symposium in the first two hours.
